Abstract
After dental extractions, patients may experience post-operative pain, with varying degree of severity among patients. The use of Er, Cr: YSGG laser in oral wound healing has garnered considerable interest and attention in recent years. The present study aims to evaluate and assess the wound healing and post operative pain after extraction of teeth in pediatric patients with application of Er, Cr: YSGG laser. Children aged 7-14 years of age with alteast one grossly decayed permanent molar indicated for extraction were included in the study. 60 teeth were randomly divided in two group- one receiving conventional treatment with post extraction pressure pack gauze and one receiving Er, Cr: YSGG laser bandage treatment. A post operative assessment was done by WBFPRS and Wound healing index for post operative pain and wound healing respectively on 24 h, 3rd, 7th and 14th day follow up. Er, Cr: YSGG laser bandage group showed statistically significant difference in both post operative pain and wound healing on follow ups. The study shows that application of laser bandage can be done in post operative extraction sockets to alleviate wound healing, decreasing post operative pain and discomfort.
期刊介绍:
Lasers in Medical Science (LIMS) has established itself as the leading international journal in the rapidly expanding field of medical and dental applications of lasers and light. It provides a forum for the publication of papers on the technical, experimental, and clinical aspects of the use of medical lasers, including lasers in surgery, endoscopy, angioplasty, hyperthermia of tumors, and photodynamic therapy. In addition to medical laser applications, LIMS presents high-quality manuscripts on a wide range of dental topics, including aesthetic dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, and prosthodontics.
The journal publishes articles on the medical and dental applications of novel laser technologies, light delivery systems, sensors to monitor laser effects, basic laser-tissue interactions, and the modeling of laser-tissue interactions. Beyond laser applications, LIMS features articles relating to the use of non-laser light-tissue interactions.
